Research on the location of distribution center of agricultural products

Abstract

In summary and analysis research's results of agricultural products distribution center location, through introducing mortify cargo damage cost, vehicle refrigerating energy cost and circulation time restriction, this paper attempts to further exploring Location Problem for the Cold Chain Distribution Center that conform to the characteristics of timeliness agricultural products. Then, a mixed-integer nonlinear location model through analysis of the overall cost of the three level-two echelon cold chain is presented. Finally, a contrastive analysis was made between the results of this model and the general location model's through a case, verifying that the location model taking into account the economy and timeliness not only has more advantage in the overall cost but also more consistent with the actual situation of agricultural properties.
